I have met tons of people in my life some of them have managed to occupy a great space in both of my heart and my memories. On the other hand there are some people whom I can barely remember their names and faces. And some of them I wish I have never met.
In life it is impossible to live alone, you have to deal with people, with different kinds of people, and with different amount of time. You have to spend a whole day with some people, like your classmates in school and college or people from work. And you only got to spend few hours with other people pair day, like the people you meet in the gym. And you only got the chance to meet other people once , like the people you sit next to in a seminar or the movies. The impact each one of those people leaves in you differ from one person to another. Believe it or not, some times the people you only met once, impress you and touch you better than those you have known for years. I remember that girl from one of the workshops I have been in, she kept smiling and shared her ideas with the rest of us. Her presence was obvious, and she made herself known to every one in there. I admit that I hated that workshop, to me it was useless. But that girl, whom I don’t know her name by the way, has managed to add charm to the place and made that workshop special in a way, in her own way. People like her, give you a great first impression , they leave you speechless with their kindness and their magnetic personality.
What a waste of time when you spend years in one place, a place you are in for eight hours a day , five days a week, without leaving an impact or at least an impression in the people you had to deal with all that time.
Some people don’t talk, don’t act, don’t participate in anything and do absolutely nothing. I would like to call them “the invisibles”. The invisibles might make their shyness or lack of confidence an excuse for their passiveness. Well guess what invisibles, being shy is not an excuse for being passive. I know a lot of shy people whose shyness didn’t stop them from being active and didn’t turn them into invisibles. So if you use the shyness in your nature as an excuse, you are not fooling any one. You have to get over your shyness and act. Don’t be shy or lets say don’t be too shy. Let the world know that you are here, let people remember you, lets hope in a good way, leave an impression, an impact in the people you are dealing with. I am not saying work hard to please people or to impress them, no, no, no, no, no, Not at all, it is impossible to please people, and who cares whether they are satisfied or not?? The only person you should work to satisfy is yourself and your parents. However I think it is better to be ” invisible” than being ” visible” in one case and one case only, that is when you have an evil nature. In that case, it is much better to be passive than active.
What a shame when your name is mentioned among a group of people you have spent a huge amount of time with and their reaction toward mentioning your name is ” Huh??” “Who???” or ” Oh yeah, her!!” And how great it is when, once your name is mentioned, a smile is drawn on people’s faces .
You can affect people in no time. Some people, I only had to spend weeks with, proved that theory to be true. They have managed to get into my heart, uninvited, and change me in a way.
I am really thankful to all the active people around me, whom I like to call ” visible” for every thing they did. Believe me when I say that I have learned a lesson from every single one of you. Some times this lesson is valuable and I will be more than happy to pass it on to others. Other lessons I’m not eager to pass to others, like how I learned that not all people are trustworthy and how the dearest person can stab you in the back and how appearance are deceptive. I would like to thank those people for teaching me such important lessons, although I have learned from you in a hard way and some times a painful one but at least you have taught me some thing. However, I am not thankful to the ” Invisibles” not at all, to me you don’t exist.
As a last word, I would like to say don’t be one of the invisibles, for there is no difference between them and a stone. But be visible, add to the world some thing positive. The world is desperately in need for such active people these days, and the last thing it needs is more of “the invisibles”.

you might wonder about the title . But before you judge let me explain my point. My point is that people these days say things they don’t really mean. I mean come on, when some one despises you, and you can tell that that person DOESNT like you and cant stands you. You know that he/she is one of those hypocrites who acts nice around you and the moment you turn your back, the gossip starts. And I dont care, really, because that person is not important to me, so why should I care??? But what really bothers me is when its time to say goodbye to that person , he/she says ” I will miss you” I CANT believe that , I want to but I cant. What exactly are you going to miss in me? the gossip? pretending to like me? what?
